Leather Guitar Strap
Question: Can anyone suggest a good quality, comfortable and unfancy leather strap I can use for my Martin guitar?Answer: What I do is just keep stretching the hole until it eventually fits over the jack. I don't like cutting it wider, because I'm relying on that tight fit to help it stay on. ...

Guitar One Magazine
Question: Being new to reading Guitar One magazine, I assumed that if you purchased it at the magazine rack as advertised with a CD included, that you'd actually GET the CD.

Godin Guitars
Question: I almost bought one of the with Synth Access. They have excellent piezo type pickups to round out the tone of the guitar plus regular pu's. They are a very good guitar and a good value, generally speaking. But I don't really think of these as jazz guitars. It's very versatile, but if ...
